  Cause:
  The error usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Overlapping Time Periods: There are overlapping entries in infotype 2005 for the same employee, which can happen if multiple overtime records are created for the same time period.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Manual data entry errors can lead to conflicts, such as entering the same date range for different overtime records.

  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records:
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the existing entries in infotype 2005 for the employee in question.

  Correct Overlapping Entries:

  Make sure that the time periods for overtime entries do not intersect.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry Procedures:
  
  Ensure that the data entry procedures are clear and that users are trained to avoid creating overlapping records.
  Implement validation checks if possible to prevent such entries from being saved.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll Team:
